Hon. Minister Dr. Kingsley T. Udeh and ASUS To Unveil First of a Kind Flagship Store in West Africa

In a landmark moment for Nigeria’s technology retail sector, the Honourable Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh SAN, will on Monday, August 3rd, commission a landmark ASUS Flagship Store in partnership with Nigeria’s leading e-commerce group Konga. The state-of-the-art facility is widely regarded as the first initiative of its kind in West Africa.

The commissioning will witness the visit of senior executives from the world-renowned technology brand to Nigeria, including EMEA General Manager, Mr. Aaron Tsai, alongside other. One of the purposes of their visit is to reinforce the strategic partnership with Konga and solidify the collaboration between both organisations, further demonstrating ASUS’ commitment to the Nigerian market.
The event is expected to also bring together key stakeholders from government, the technology industry, business community, and the media for what promises to be a defining moment in the evolution of technology retail in the region.
The development comes as Konga continues to accelerate its strategic partnerships with some of the world’s leading technology brands.
For years, Nigerian consumers have demanded more than just access to genuine technology products. They have increasingly sought immersive experiences, expert guidance, after-sales support, and greater confidence when making technology investments. The next chapter in this journey appears to address many of these expectations in a bold and innovative way.
The forthcoming announcement is expected to bring together global innovation in a manner that reflects the changing realities of today’s technology consumer. It also reinforces the growing confidence that leading international technology companies continue to place in Nigeria as one of Africa’s most strategic digital markets.
Industry analysts note that partnerships of this nature are becoming increasingly important as consumers place greater emphasis on authenticity, hands-on product experiences, technical support, and trusted purchase channels. Beyond selling devices, the future of technology retail lies in building complete customer experiences.
As anticipation builds for Monday, one thing is certain: the ASUS-Konga partnership promises to set new standards for tech retail in West Africa, elevating customer experience and reinforcing Nigeria’s digital transformation narrative.

ATU Summit Ends in Abuja with Landmark Declaration to Eradicate Continental Digital Divide

African ministers responsible for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have adopted the 2026 Abuja Declaration on Meaningful Connectivity for Africa, committing member states to accelerate internet access in rural, remote and underserved communities across the continent.

The declaration was adopted at the Seventh Ordinary Session of the Conference of Plenipotentiaries of the African Telecommunications Union (ATU), held in Abuja.
The agreement seeks to address Africa’s widening digital divide by promoting policies and investments that will improve digital infrastructure, stimulate demand for internet services and ensure equitable access to digital opportunities.
In a statement endorsed by the participating member states, the ministers noted that Africa continues to lag behind other regions of the world in internet connectivity despite rapid global digital expansion.
The declaration, signed by Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, who assumed the role of Chairperson of the conference, highlighted the urgency of expanding digital inclusion across the continent.
According to the statement, global internet usage has reached about 68 per cent, rising to as much as 94 per cent in high-income countries, while internet penetration in Africa remains slightly above 38 per cent, the lowest among all regions of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The ministers expressed concern that the disparity continues to limit socio-economic development, innovation, education, healthcare delivery and access to digital public services for millions of Africans.
They agreed that closing the connectivity gap, particularly in underserved communities, should become a continental priority requiring coordinated action by governments, regulators, development partners and the private sector.
The declaration establishes a framework centred on expanding digital infrastructure, increasing broadband adoption, stimulating demand for digital services and promoting equitable access to connectivity.
It also encourages member states to implement policies that will improve affordability, strengthen digital skills and create an enabling environment for sustainable investment in telecommunications infrastructure.
“Affirming that closing Africa’s connectivity and usage gap, particularly in rural, remote and underserved communities, is an urgent continental priority,” the declaration stated.
The conference further called on international development partners, industry stakeholders and civil society organisations to align their investments and programmes with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa.
The ministers expressed optimism that stronger regional collaboration would accelerate digital transformation, foster inclusive economic growth and ensure that more Africans benefit from opportunities created by the digital economy.
